I am going through a lot of changes in my personal circumstances, having been a divorced mom of two for the last 10 years. But now my oldest has started college and moved out and my youngest will be leaving in the fall. I always said that I wanted more time for myself, but now that it is here, why am I so sad?

I am a vegetarian and refuse to eat anything containing GMO's. Factory farming disgusts me, and while I hold nothing against omnivores and carnivores, I do find that not considering how your meat and dairy products were raised is selfish and abhorrent. You are what you eat, physically and spiritually. I believe that most processed foods are the equivalent of toxins and that our common food and water supplies are the cause of most of the prevailing conditions that people suffer from. On a personal level, genetically modified organisms are terrifying, but on a global level, they are immoral, causing devastation and financial ruin to countless thousands of people and destroying the soil and natural food chain. Eat at your own peril.
